The interruption of the prohibition
speaker Tuesday night occurred because the
band was not aware that the speaking had
commenced. The Cornet band was at the
court house that night in compliance with
request of tho prohibitionists. Now 1t
is unscrupulously stated by certain parties
that the prohibitionists charge the ants
with having hired the band to disturb the
meeting. This is an unmitigated false
hood, nor do we believe the band would
lend itself to any such proceeding

WEATHER AND CROPS.

The Weekly Signal Service Weather CrOp
Bulletin The Con IitiOns Generally IA
vorable for the Successful Gathering OF
Abundant Harvests.
WASHINGTON, June 2L--The Signal OF.
fee wcather-5rop bulletin for the past
week states that during the week the
weather has been slightly cooler than the
average for the week. in all agricultural
districts east of the Rocky Mountains,
while it has been warmer than usual on
the Pacifi coast. In the States of the
Upper Mississippi and Missouri valleys
aud the Upper Lake region, the daily
average temperature ranged from de-
grees to degrees below the normal,
while on the Atlanti: colst, south of New
England, and in the cotton and tobacco
regions, the temperature differed but
slightly from the normal. In Northern
California, Oregon and Washington
Territory the average daily excess of tenn
perature for the week ranged from to 10
degrees. The excess of temperature for
the season, from January l to June %,
1887, amounting to daily average of from
! to degrees, continues over the cotton
region, the Central Mississippi valley and
thence westward to the Rocky mount
aims, while in all other agricultural dis
tricts, except at isolated stations, the
average daily temperature for the season
differs less than one degree from the
normal
During the week the rainfall has been
in excess in al States on the Atlantic
coast, along the immediate Elst gulf and
in Western Missouri and Eastern Kansas,
the heaviest raufalls occurring along the
middle Atlantic coast. In the Mis- sissippi,
Ohio and Missouri valleys there was less
rain than usual, the deficiency amounting
to about an inch in The States of the Mis-
sssippi valley. The large seasonal de-
ticiency of rainfall, exceed ing ten inches,
continues over the cotton region, and a
seasonal deficiency, exceeding five inches,
exists IN Illinois, Wisconsin and Iowa; in
all other sections the rainfall for the sea-
son differs slightly from the normal.
TIE weather during the week has been
general favorable for the principal
crops. Rains in the South Atlantic States
doubtless improved the condition of the
staple crops in that region. More rain is
needed in the cotton region, and the indi
cations a e that rain viii occur in the
Lower Mississippi aud OHIO valleys by
| Monday afternoon. The weather has
been favorable for harvesting in the
wheat regions. I h re having been an ex
cess OF sunshine and very little
! rain. In the corn region the
weather has be3n generally favorable,
although in some loca itios more rain is
needed, and the coo we Ither of the pas
week has slightly retarded the growth OF
the corn crop. In New England, where
! haying is now in progress the conditions
have been favorable to the hay crops. All
crops in this section and the Middle At
lantiC States have been improved by the
rains, although IN the northern portions
Of New England and New York there ha'
been less than the usual amount Of sun
shine, attended with cool weather.
